Well it sounds like I may be out.

Some girls are shooting calendar photos on Saturday and want me to head up to the hills with 'em. They wanna get the honcho muddy then get muddy themselves. I dunno. but as a single guy, I can't really turn that down...

Yea, I'd take that over ice cream in a parking lot.

My plan is to spend tomorrow night camped on FR1083 up on guanella pass. That puts me close to the 285 trail heads of twin cone and red cone. But, I'd really like to do Geneva creek since I'll literally be camped on the beginning of the trail: http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=271

Any thoughts?

The 91 and the 74 should be at the ice cream social.

I have never done Geneva Creek, sounds like fun. Did you want to do it Sunday morning or Sat?

How about right here? http://goo.gl/maps/Rz9qT

I'm fine with anytime after 10:00, so just tell me when you want to meet up. I'm going to get on the horn with Boston Bob and see what his plan is. He might be able to join us.

Sorry I missed you Nikkormat. I got to the location at about 10:25 and I waited till 11 so I went ahead and did the trail. Thought I might see you at one of the camp spots but I didn't see you. Hopefully we can wheel another time!

Ok, it is confirmed -- I WILL be at the DQ / hot rod / fsj shindig!

TC survived the trip to Ouray and back, so I will drive it over there.

See you all there!

Crap we just barely missed each other. Sorry I didn't get your PM, It didn't come through until I got back into cell range last night. Bad planning on my part.

I was camped after the second river crossing in the pull out on the right hand side. But I started up the mountain alone at 11:15. If I had waited a little longer you would have found me. I played around up there until about 3:00 but had an altercation with a lady's dog and decided to head back down and wait. I waited down at another campsite just before the first river crossing until 7. Then I went home a day early because that valley was so dang crowded.

I will see you all this afternoon.
